It's not awful, but it's not nearly as convenient as either the right-center buttons (which are what I preferred) or the not-quite-bottom left buttons on the 505.

I love that the PEZ has three different sets of forward-back buttons; I can switch hands easily.

WAIT: the specs I've seen don't say that it supports .rtf. The PCWorld review says it reads PDF, ePub and TXT.

If they've removed RTF support, that kills any potential interest I had in getting one. One of the features the 505 has over the PEZ is support for a filetype I can edit easily. (PEZ claims support for .doc. It opens them, but any software that auto-hyphenates the word "years" is not providing actual support.)
